Dia .625" but...your old handle is the wrong color...;^)

Why not lube? I use Dillon spray lube on everything. Never found a reason not to.

As small as they go 5.7x28 and .25 ACP

Maybe I usually just back-off the full length size die so it just bumps the shoulder. Any dies will work. I prefer Redding, Forster, RCBS in that order. for small batch and Dillon for volume. Scott

Yes Yes. Scott

Depends on the round. I tumble then lube, size and trim bottle neck on Dillon 1200 RTs. Then I give them another shot of Dillon lube before go into the hopper. I don't check anything except OAL on loaded rounds. Scott

FN-tastic Firearm My Five-Seven pistol is my favorite firearm. It is without a doubt THE handgun I would have if I had only one. It needs a steady hand but the super-sonic, flat trajectory and round options make it a bridge between "hand guns" and "long guns". Ammo is pricey and the brass...

Iffin it were my gun cabinet... ...I wouldn't be talkin about what's in it. That said, a gun cabinet aint respectable till is holds an M1 Garand an AR and enough fodder to last the winter. Scott

What experience have you had using a case activated Hornady PM on a Dillon 650 tool head? Thanks, Scott

Recently acquired a Police Automatic Weapon System (P.A.W.S.) bullet collator as part of a larger purchase. It's probably 25 to 30 years old. The company was out of Salem, Oregon and is still listed but does not answer their phone. The connector plug to the limit switches or speed control...

How many rounds do you shoot per year? I did seen anyone ask how many rounds the OP runs per year. I have Dillon 650s with case feeders for long runs and LNL without case feeder for 101 to 500 rounds per run. The calibers listed by the OP allow the use of RCBS Lockout dies in station 3 of...

RCBS Ammo Master Biggest ram and longest throw. Built for 50 BMG. Not pretty but tough. Scott
